"Brother, you're back!" As soon as Lu Fan arrived home, his sister Lu Ling came out to welcome him.
She has finished her military training and is staying at home for a few days, waiting for school to start.
"How does the military training feel? Are you tired?" Lu Fan felt a little distressed when he saw his younger sister who had become darker and thinner.
However, he also understands that military training is to cultivate the quality of hard work, which is still very meaningful.
"Not tired, I'm much better than them!" Lu Ling smiled proudly.
She was born in a rural area, and her family's conditions were poor. She had worked hard in the past few years, and her physical fitness was naturally much better than that of the little princesses in the wealthy towns and counties in the east.
In addition to being beautiful and tall, she was even selected as a training pacesetter, which was a little bit of limelight.
Lu Fan was quite satisfied after listening to his sister talking about military training. Judging from the current situation, Ling'er was quite adaptable to high school life.
He was about to ask more detailed questions when Lu Ling suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that a man from the county came to discuss things with his sister-in-law at the village committee this afternoon. It’s not finished yet!”
Um?
Lu Fan raised his eyebrows.
Someone from the county is looking for Liu Yun? It's not over yet?
He glanced at the darkening sky outside. It was almost dark now. He was curious about what could be worth talking about so late.
"You prepare dinner at home, and I'll go to the village committee to have a look." He told his sister and went to the village committee.
At this time, in the village committee of Izumo Village, two groups of people were negotiating very intensely.
To be precise, Liu Yun should be negotiating fiercely with several people alone, while the other village committee members in Izumo Village were sitting there with drooping heads, basically not talking much.
"Mr. Qin, let me emphasize once again that our village and county farmer's market have a contract. The number of vegetables supplied every day and the price are clearly written in the contract. Now you come here to re-sign the contract. We are I will never agree!"
Although one person was fighting against several people, Liu Yun refused to show weakness at all.
She knew very well that the new contract brought by these people had completely overbearing terms. They wanted more goods, but the price was much lower. There were many restrictions on Izumo Village, but there were no restrictions on them.
As soon as this contract is signed, Izumo Village will probably become a tool for these people to make money.
If it were the previous Izumo Village, it would be great to be able to sign such a contract. After all, these people make money, and the villagers can also drink soup.
But in today's Izumo Village, how is it possible to follow others and drink soup?
Therefore, Liu Yun firmly disagreed to re-sign the contract.
Sitting opposite her was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a relatively ordinary appearance, but his big aquiline nose made his face look a bit sinister.
He smiled coldly: "Village Chief Liu, you may not have understood the situation yet. Do you think Izumo Village's vegetables can be sold without us?"
He is Mr. Qin in Liu Yun's mouth. He is also considered a figure in Renhuai County due to his family connections.
This kid is quite shrewd. He never does business that will lead to big problems. He only does business that is inconspicuous but very profitable.
For example, vegetables.
Vegetables are something that every household must eat, but the profit from this item is very high.
Especially now that vegetable prices have risen so high, are vegetable farmers really making a fortune?
Of course not, because the current middlemen, that is, the second-tier dealers, are too shady. They can increase the price several times, and the price of vegetables will of course skyrocket.
Mr. Qin is a middleman, and reselling vegetables is also an important part of his business. He delivers at least half of the vegetables in the county farmer's market.
A few days ago, he suddenly found a batch of new dishes on the market. The quality was much better than the dishes he received, but the price was the same as his dishes.
This batch of new dishes was sold out as soon as they came on the market. In those days, Mr. Qin's dishes also suffered a big impact, and a batch of them were rotten.
He had a lot of connections, and he immediately found out that this batch of vegetables was sent directly from Izumo Village.
Mr. Qin realized the business opportunities here. The vegetables in Izumo Village were so easy to sell. If he could handle them, he would definitely make a lot of money.
So he took a few people to Izumo Village and wanted to buy vegetables from Izumo Village directly. At first, he thought it would be a very simple matter. After all, they were just a bunch of bumpkins who had never seen the world. He just wanted to give him some benefits, saying that he would come to buy the goods and the quantity would be much larger than before. I believe these bumpkins would definitely I will be grateful to him and make a big concession on the price.
.
But unexpectedly, Liu Yun was not only not a country bumpkin, but also had no interest in his petty profits.
Of course she is not interested in petty profits. It can be said that all the vegetables in Izumo Village have been booked by the county farmer's market and the big vegetable merchant in Ningcheng. They will only start supplying them after the road is repaired.
It’s not like it can’t be sold, so why sell it to Mr. Qin at a lower price?
What's more, Mr. Qin's contract contains various clauses that are unfavorable to Izumo Village. For example, Izumo Village must ensure the quality of vegetables. If the quality does not meet the standard one day, Mr. Qin has the right to refuse to pay for the vegetables.
The food payment is settled once a month.
This is a joke.
Liu Yun decisively refused.
"Mr. Qin doesn't have to worry about whether the vegetables in our village can be sold."
"Does Village Chief Liu think that since you signed a contract with the county farmer's market, they will have to buy your vegetables all the time?" Mr. Qin could only change his strategy when he saw no inducements.
"I tell you, this is impossible. Do you believe it? As long as I say a word, vegetables from your village will no longer appear in the farmers' market!"
"So what?" Liu Yun was not afraid, "Even if our vegetables cannot be sold in farmers' markets, they can still be sold in various markets, and there are many small vendors, who can all be our customers!"
After all, this is a rural area, and each town has a market five or six times a month. As long as Izumo Village delivers vegetables to the market, with the quality of their vegetables, they don't have to worry about not being able to sell them.
As long as you have a good product these days, there will always be sales.
"I'm afraid Village Chief Liu is too naive!" Mr. Qin smiled coldly, "Do you think this is still the past? People in the market set up stalls casually, and now the market management has begun to be formalized. As long as I Just say hello, you will not be welcome in any market in the entire Renhuai County!"
With his connections, it would be too easy for all the markets in Renhuai County to reject vegetables from one village. He just wanted to drive Izumo Village into desperation, and in the end he had no choice but to sell vegetables to him.
